Painted with my little sister the other day. I dread the day she's too cool for me.

Panera date with a high school friend.

After Christmas holiday dresses.

Give me all the pink makeup in the world.

Coolest. Christmas present. Ever. My aunt and uncle got me 17 Mexico issues of my feature from back in October. It's entirely in Spanish which is so special!

Christmas Eve hot chocolate at grandma's house.

Whew. The earliest I've woken up in awhile.

Christmas lights with my family.

Bob Evans dates.

One of my favorite thrift stores in my town.

Still trying to use up the rest of my bubble bar from Lush.

Trying to convince my grandma to give me this cat after I graduate, ha.

Sparkling Lights.

Winter time means getting every type of hot chocolate, coffee, and hot drink I can get my hands on. Or, that's at least how it seems from my instagram. Been doing a lot of thrifting (and thankfully coming up lucky) and drink runs. Wouldn't have had my winter break any other way.

You can follow my adventures going back to Kent this next week with @passingwhimsies on instagram! x

Hope to take outfit pictures tomorrow. It's been -40 below zero the past few days so it wasn't really an option to take outfit photos hah. I'd rather not have hypothermia and frost bite. Thankfully the cold is starting to lift and I can start taking photos again!

With much love, Lauren.

P.S. Only a few more days my shop will be open before I leave for school again. If there's something you like, think about it!

lovely little notes:

That shot of your beautiful rainbow of dresses is so pretty and those beverage shots may keep me up vicariously tonight :) My fave were those cute kitty socks on your equally cute feet. Good luck getting back into the college flow :)

Don't worry-- I'm 6 & 9 years younger than my sisters, and I never got 'too cool' for them. We've been a fearsome threesome since the day I was born, and our relationship only got better and stronger as we got older :)

So in love with all of your snaps Lauren! And that case is actually too perfect. I can't imagine how cold it is where you live, seeing as it is already normally cold there (or it seems in your outfit photos). Good luck back at school- it has been quite a struggle getting back into it for me. Hope you're doing well! <3
